Identify two errors made by a student asked to evaluate the following integral (Will upload question to less space)

Error 1: expressed 3/x^(1/2) incorrectly. Should be 3x^-(1/2), not 3x^(1/2).Error 2: subtracted the larger area from the smaller area after substituting the unknowns with the given limits value.

Find the area bounded by the curve x^2-2x+3 between the limits x=0 and x=1 and the horizontal axis.


The point A lies on the curve with equation y = x^(1/2). The tangent to this curve at A is parallel to the line 3y-2x=1. Find an equation of this tangent at A. (PP JUNE 2015 AQA)  


When integrating, why do we add a constant to the resulting equation?


Differentiate the function; f(x)=1/((5-2x^3)^2)
